Our, Us, We? It's one of my pet peeves when fans talk like that, but an analyst talking that way is just ridiculous. Remember this is the team you've been trashing for the past two months too Tiki. Good lord he is dreadful.

And Spinning Class? I would love to be a fly on the wall in that gym. Al and Tiki just sweating to the oldies. Good times.

Emmitt Smith had to of called Tank Johnson, Tank Williams about 17 times.

“If that had been perfect it would have been a completition”- Dan Dierdorf, Wouldn't they all be Dan?

"James Jones has great hands at the point of the catch."- Daryl Johnston

Kevin Harlan: "Hines Ward always lines up outside in a 4 receiver set." This contradicts the previous series when he noted Hines was in the slot in a 4 receiver set. Wonder if he's listening to himself.(Via Dave)

“Jay Feely to kick the Field Goal…..What a good FEELing.”- Greg Gumbel

Just wanted to send in a comment I heard during a game on Sunday. Duringthe Browns-Steelers game, Rich Gannon dropped this little diddy about BrownsDefensive Coordinator Todd Grantham's intensity....

....and my personal favorite taken down verbatim (I had to rewind the TIVO 7 times)....

“I was just going to say that with the tightness that’s a cramp. That’s what we talked about you know dehydration and we were just talking about this and you know dehydration and you get dehydrated and you get cramps.”- John Madden“Very infrequently will you see the KICKER dehydrated.”- Al Michaels“You know sometimes they warm up so much and kick so many balls into the net they have these little drills they do……they just hyperventilate themselves.”- John Madden

PS: After the thrilling Bills vs Broncos game I think we can add another Gus Johnson highlight to the many montages he has on blogs. He had some great calls in that game. And Howard Cross wasn't all that bad either.

So it's easy to ridicule the people who mis-speak when that is what they are supposed to do...but then you say "Emmitt had to of". What was that, certainly not "had to have". Gotta keep your own closet if you are going to launch rocks.
